A wide range of services is available from public cloud service providers (CSPs). Companies can take advantage of offerings that provide scaleable storage capacity, advanced machine learning capabilities, and analytics powered by artificial intelligence. Some CSPs also furnish businesses with access to the processing power of cloud-based supercomputers. 

High performance computing (HPC) is a method for solving large and complex problems in business, science, and engineering. By aggregating available computing power, higher performance can be provided than that which is possible with standard hardware and software. Cutting-edge research in many fields relies on the power available in HPC systems.
